Since I haven't got anything wonderful to update in a while, I'll advertise my Anthropology project, the Creation Story of the Haudenosaunee (or Iroquois if you don't recognize the other name).

It's really sketchy/lined-paper crappiness, but feel free to look nonetheless to educate yourself on this version on the origin of Turtle Island, aka North America (where a good lot of you Internet goers are from).

The direct link is here. Or look through the old layout for Fairietails Studio which I haven't gotten around to fixing the new layout.

The only warning I have is that Creation is nude because I was lazy to design an outfit for her. Sorry.

And if you're scarred for life, it ain't my fault really. You suck at reading.

As for THIS picture, this is Sapling/Xie II in the recarnation version of the Second Epoch (that I haven't gotten around to illustrating) named Dekanawidah, or more commonly referred to as The Peacemaker. He's a freakin' genius.

Although, I couldn't find ANY reference for Huron clothing, as it was speculated he was from, so I just made something up from Mohawk. Sorry if this offends anyone (let me know what's correct, please!). Anyway, Sapling/Xie II/Dekanawidah here is holding the Tree of Peace. =D

Xie II belongs to me. I know he's not human in this picture. I didn't bother to do any race-shifting to him or to any others in casting this story. I am THAT lazy. But I like pointed ears.

Okay I've ranted enough now. Pencil and openCanvas.

Wow~ As always, I am in awe of your coloring style! D: I just LOVE how you shade, especially the hair! And the eagle also looks really nice, animals can be hard to draw. xD I also love the long ears, I just adore long ears~ <3

And your story was very interesting as well! ;D

I am familiar with this story. I love the design of the outfit. And the eagle is well done. :) is that why Creation is naked? I thought you had her naked because well.....she's "the beginning" and I thought also that since she symbolized innocence.....reminded me of Adam and Eve, since they were innocent of the Knowledge and so were not embarrassed of being naked. ....sorry if I seemed to have babbled. i just thought she was purposely naked. my bad. ^^; I like Turtles though. lol

Well yeah, that too. I didn't want to add clothes that ruin the atmosphere and don't suit the culture. So I was lazy to come up with some nude-works outfit, so nude it was.

:iconlenoir-whittlethorn:
that's understandable. :)

I don't have a problem with canon, non-canon, straight, gay or any other of that nonsense. I have a problem with incest but as long as it isn't real life & it is drawn well I will pretend that they're not related for the sake of a job well done. Love wins

I lost my breathe when the page loaded. He is /gorgeous/! :faint:
